Supplies of Ammunition—A False
Alarm.
-The Philadelphia Times, one of our
most valued exchanges, thus speaks in
a recent issue:
The Augusta Constitutionalist and the
Memphis Appeal are two Southern journals
which aro anxious to supply their enemies
with ammunition to bo used against them.
They are, or pretend to be, very indignant
because the invitation of the Winnebago
Agricultural Society to Jefferson Davis
was withdrawn. The Oonsitutiona t.is r
breaks out into a fierce attack upon all
Northern people becauso of the “Indignity”
offered Davis, and with General Preston
mournfully howls over the “degradation”
of tho South. The Appeal is scarcely less
violent. Of course every third-term organ
in the country rejoices, and Seuator Mor
ton has material for a half-dozen cam
paign speeches. One good tiling will re
sult, however, if their advice to their con
stituents to trade no more with the West
be taken—Georgia and Tennessee may go
into hog-raising and corn-growing. It is
one of the shames of their people to-day
that they have to go to these “Winnebago
savages,” as they aro called, to get their
bacon and meal.
We have, from time to time, been
accused of “ furnishing ammunition to
the enemy but the sequel lias always
proved that the enemy aforesaid got
about as little comfort from tho afore
said ammunition as the devil gets from
holy water. Beforo we conclude, we
shall undertake to show, from the
Times itself, that this statement is as
true now as it was on former occasions.
Before making such an attempt, we
must correct our contemporary on an
other point. We did not “break out
into a fierce attack on all Northern peo
ple becauso of the indignity offered
Jefferson Davis.” On the contrary.
We expressed ourselves with as much
vigor as possible against certain hypo
critical classes in the North, whose rep
resentative is the Winnebago savage.
To have done otherwise would have
been contrary to nature, and, in writ
ing as we did, many other papers be
sides the Memphis Appeal and tho
Constitutionalist were in common ac
cord, although it is true they were
something like second fiddles in the or
chestra.
If, as the Times says, “ one good
thing will result ” should our advice be
taken, viz: tho commercial independ
ence of Georgia and the South, then
have we “ howled ” to some purpose,
and our fellow-countrymen of this sec
tion owe us a vote of thanks. With
their approbation, in the performance
of such a prodigy, we can endure the
taunts of an adversary, who, unwitting
ly, perhaps, winds up his rebuke by
paying us a compliment of the highest
character. Wo should feel content to
leave the world and its hardships, to
lay down that life which has been often
to us a grievous burden and a thank
less one, too, if the people of the South,
by reason of any advice from us, emerg
ed from the shame of depending upon
Winnebago or other savages for bacon
and meal.
But, let us see how much “ammuni
tion” we have furnished Senator Mor
ton. In the very issue of the Times
containing this violent assumption we
read as follows :
Washington, August 25.—Information
has been received here direct from the Re
publican councils of Ohio, explaining tho
su iden change of tho Republican leaders
from the currency to tho school issue. It
was done by the earnest advice of Senator
Morton, who was mortified at the listloss
ness of the Buckeyo people about his
blood y-shirt and currency speech. He at
once decided that to war against the Demo
cratic inflation policy, as was intended by
General Hayes and his friends, would lose
the State by tons of thousands, and he
earnestly urged that the whole contest
shou'd be hazarded upon a revival of Know-
Nothingism and tho school question. He
insisted that unless some new issue could
be sprung upon tho people of Ohio that
would divert them from the load of Grant,
Delano, and tho fruits of Republican rule
generally, tho contest was a hopeless one.
It was Anally decided that the campaign
should thereafter be conducted solely
on the religious issue, leaving the
Commercial and tho Liberals, who revolted
against inflation, to flounder out as best
they could, and since then'.all the speakers
have followed out the Morton programme.
A preconcerted attack on tho new issue
staitled tho friends of Allen, but as it be
comes apparent that it is only a desperate
device of desperate leaders, who would in
voke religious prejudices to save a con
demned party, the issue is likely to recoil
upon those who invented it, and prove a
plague upon Hayes. Morton confesses
that Republican Ohio cannot be carried on
tho records of Republican administration,
and ho has led the party after false gods in
the hope of saving it from tho consequences
of Its own acts. It is the judgment of the
most dispassionate Allen leaders, express
ed within the last few days, that the aban
donment of the currency issue by the Re
publicans will give the State to Allen by a
decided majority.
Had the been a true prophet,
and had the Constitutionalist really
given aid and comfort to the enemy,
how does it happen that Morton
“mortified at the listlessness of the
Buckeye people about his bloody shirt
and currency speech, cowers before
Al en and his following and, despair
ing of a victory in the open field,
makes his contest in the slums and
labyrinths of a Know Nothing revival?
Why did the great Morton, with so
much “ammunition” at hand, retire
from the field of his choice and seek
other issues than Southern ones, and
especially those which are founded
upon religious intolerance and bigotry?
The truth is, the Republican party is
welcome to all the “ammunition” it
can get from the Constitutionalist.
We would be only too glad if the cam
paign of 1876 should be fought out
squarely upon the true and living is
sues which we have, from time to time,
presented, and upon which are founded
the hopes of free government in Amer
ica.
We have no fears of a Democratic
triumph if the true issues of the com
ing Presidential campaign are boldly
and honestly presented to the masses
for a decision. But, it has been the
misfortune of our country that the
Democracy themselves have fallen into
the hands of blind leaders and have
abandoned attacks upon the weak
points of the enemy’s line, only to dash
themselves to pieces upon his strong
hold. That no such errors of judg
ment in future shall be committed, we
sincerely trust. But if, either at the
North or South, the principles we have
over contended for are to be called
“bowlings” and met with the clap-trap
of expediency mongers, the satisfaction
at least exists that we refused to be a
party to an abasing policy and that the
greatest glory of an upright spirit is to
“wage contention with tho world’s de
cay.” _______
The Revival of “Sam.”—Radicalism
Drifting Into Know-Notliingisin.
In spite of the previous declaration
of Republican journals apd orators
that the currency question was the
mightiest issue in Ohio; and that uncle
William Allen was doomed to be
slaughtered by hard money theorists—
the most audacious, as he Is the most
able, leader of the Republicans, Seua
tor Morton, has changed tho whole
tune and bundled up his prize of gold
and silver in that “bloody shirt,”
which did not prove a very paroxys
mal banner. Perceiving that Allen and
his doctrines were popular with the
people of Ohio, because they did not
teach that the many must of necessity
bo tho perpetual serfs of the few, the*
wily Morton injects a religious cle
ment into the canvass and, in place of
an “ensanguined undergarment,” lugs
out tho old Kuow-Notliing dark lanteri
which he hopes wiii prove a bugaboo
of fiercer and more formidable dimen
sions. And in the wake of Morton the
Radical presses and speakers follow
like a pack of deep-mouthed hounds.
What will come of the desperate
“swapping of horses while crossing a
stream” we must wait and see ; but in
is fair to conjecture that tho needy and
betrayod people of Ohio, who did non
grow enthuiastic over Morton's Ku-
Klux Hag will not, when remembering
their unproductive property and oner
ous taxes, become frightened at a dis
eased Congressman’s caricature of the
Pope of Rome.
We find this Know-Nothing dodge
cropping out everywhere, and its chief
fuglemen aro men who hate the South
and tho Democracy with an undying
intensity. They wero the old Aboli
tionists, the war men, the negro equal
ity freedom-shriekers, and “organizers
of hell in the South.” Desperate and
ungodly, reckless and criminal must
they be to supplement the horrors
they have already brought upon tho
country by this beastly design of in
flaming religious prejudice. Upon this
point the Baltimore Gazette well says:
“There is nothing in the annals of tho
old Know-Nothing party to inspire an
attempt at its revivification. Its mem
ory is a stench. Its purposes were un
masked, its sentiments utterly repu
diated, its organization trampled out
of sight and obliterated. No excuse oi
pretext is afforded for starting the par
ty anew' now. It is simply a movement
of unscrupulous and beaten Radicalism
to divert the Democracy from the real
issues of the day in order to evade the
consequences of years of flagrant mis
rule which aro about to bo heaped
upon it. It is a device whoso stupidity
is only equaled by its meanness. It is
an attempt to evade public opinion by
secrecy; a deliberate effort to stir up
sectarian strife; to engender bitterness
among friends and neighbors. It is an
appeal to the prejudiced, tho bigoted
and the ignorant; a bid for the support
of the depraved and the vicious; an in
vitation to mob law and violence. It is
the last ditch of Radicalism.”
In Maryland tho Radical Custom
Ilouse ring were, under secret instruc
tions from Washington, the first orga
nizers of tho new Know Nothing fac
tion. Of them and their scheme the
Gazette thus speaks:
The Custom House patriots and the noisy
fellows whoso names adorned tho criminal
and police records became offensively
prominent, and the few good men were
overslaughed and intimidated. The socie
ties, aside from the objection to their
secrecy, could not command the popular
confidence. Radicalism, even under so
seductive a name as •‘Potato Bugs,” as the
Know Nothings called themselves, would
not smell sweet. It was tho samo old crowd
after all, only under another name, and
people wore not slow in finding it out. We
believe the “Bugs” are still striving to get
candidates in order to get tho work cut
and dried for the forthcoming Radical Con
vention. Wo hopo they may succeed. But
the ruse won’t win. The peoplo are going
to exterminate Radicalism under whatever
guise it presents itself, and if tho Demo
crats of Maryland do their duty both It
and Know-Nothingism will be buried in the
samo grave in November.
The drift of Radical sentiment in New
York and other State3 toward Know-
Nothingisra as manifest in such representa
tive journals as Harpers’ Weekly and New
York Times indicates unmistakably anew
line of policy by the Radical leaders for the
campaign of 1876. The elections this year
will serve as a feeler. Wo much mistake if
the results in Maryland and elsewhere are
not! such as to give the ghouls of Know-
Nothingism their final quietus.
It will be seen from these presenta
tions of fact that we are no mere al
armists. Amid the general /arore there
will be evil-minded men, even in the
South, who coming as emissaries of
the central authority at Washington,
will attempt to disorganize and distract
the Democracy of this section as well
as of the East and West, with their
insidious theories. Let the men of the
South, of whatever creed, understand
that the revived Know-Knothing pro
gramme emanates from their
deadliest foes, from that Radi
cal sanhedrim whose rule has
desolated the land and polluted nearly
every well-spring of prosperity and
morality. Not to such allies can any
true Southern man go even half way,
unless ho prefers to glut his prejudices
by the surrender of his reason. Never
was there a time when men of all
creeds at the South should be more
tolerant, charitable and prudent. Their
Radical arch-enemy is approaching in
an old disguise, brushed up for novel
uses, and it only needs a firm hand to
tear the cloak away and find beneath
the false face of Know Nothingism the
hideous visage of Morton or some of
his leprous kin.

A Faithful Dog.
The Baroness Burdktt-Coutts, who
is not less famous for her boundless
charity than for her almost boundless
wealth, has recently erected a beauti
ful monument over the grave of a dog
named “Bobby,” whose story is one of
the most pathetic in tho annals of
time. Here it is :
strange story of a dog.
Avery singular and interesting occur
rence was yesterday brought to light in the
Burgh Court, by the hearing of a summons
in regard to a dog-tax. Eight and a half
years ago, it seems a man named Gray, of
whom nothing now is known, except that
he was poor, and lived in a quiet way in
some obscure part of the town, was buried
In Old Greyfriars’ Churchyard. His grave,
levelled by tho hand of time, and unmarked
by any stone, is now scarcely discernible;
but although no human interest would seem
to attach to it, the sacred spot has not been
wholly disregarded and forgotten. During
all these years the dead man’s faithful dog
has kept constant watch and guard over
the grave—and it was this animal for
which the collectors sought to recover the
tax. James Brown, tho old curator of the
burial ground, remembers Gray’s funeral,
and the dog, a Scotch terrier, was, he says,
one of the most conspicuous of the mourn
ers. The grave was closed in as usual, and
next morning“ Bobby,” as the dog is call
ed, was found lying on tho new made
mound. This was an innovation which old
James could not permit, for there was an
order at tho gate, stating, in the most in
telligible characters, that dogs were not ad
mitted. “ Bobby ” was accordingly driven
out; but next morning he was there again,
and for the second time was discharged.
The third morning was cold and wet, and
when the old man saw the faithful animal,
in spite of all chastisement, still lying
shivering on the grave, he took pity on
him, and gave him some food. This recog
nition of his devotion gave “ Bobby ” the
right to make tho Churchyard his homo;
and from that time to tho present he has
never spent a night away from his mas
tei’s tomb. Often in bad weather attempts
have been made to keep him within doors,
but by dismal howls he has succeeded in
making it known that this interference is
not agreeable to him, and latterly he has
always been allowed his own way. At al
most any time during the day he may be
seen in or about the churchyard; and no
matter how rough the night may be, noth
ing can induce him to forsake the hallowed
spot, whose identity, despite the irresisti
ble obliteration, he has so faithfully pre
served. “Bobby” has many friends, and
the tax-gathers have by no means proved
his enemies. A weekly treat of steaks was
long allowed him by Sorgeant Scoar of the
Engineers, but for more than six years he
has been regularly fed by Mr. Traill, of
the restaurant, 6 Greyfriars’ place. He is
constant and punctual in his calls, being
guided In his mid-day visits by the sound
of the time-gun. On the ground of harbor
ing the dog, proceedings were taken
against Mr. Traill for payment of the tax.
The defendant expressed his willingness,
could ho claim the dog, to be responsible
for the tax; but so long as the dog refused
to attach itself to any one, it was impo -Bi
ble to fix tho ownership—and the Court,
seeing tho peculiar circumstances of the
case, dismissed the summons. “Bobby”
has long been an object of curiosity to all
who have become acquainted with his his
tory. His constant appearance in the
graveyard has caused many inquiries to be
made regarding him, and efforts out of
number have been made to get possession
of him. The old curator, of course, stands
up as the next claimant to Mr. Traill,
and yesterday offered to pay the tax him
self, rather than liavo “ Bobby “ Grey
friars’ Bobby,” to allow him his full name
—put out of the way.—[See Scotsman, April
13, 1807.
Could human lovo outlast tho affec
tion of that devoted animal ? We trow
not; for he was faithful when so much
human fidelity has an end, beyond the
tomb. It is in the presence of such in
disputable facts that some of the best
of men are inclined to believe that
there is an immortality for animals.
We do not r etend to pierce the un
known ; but there might be a place for
“Bobby,” in the other world, without
shocking any Christian sense, and it
would boa jar to our feelings could we
utterly despair of such a dog find
ing tho master ho had loved and lost.
Against the Grain.—At the Rich
mond Va. colored convention tho “men
and brethron” voted vehemently
against a pending constitutional
amendment, making larceny a cause
for disfranchisement. This measure
they consider aimed especially at the
negro race, who aro supposed to do
most of tho j Tty thieving in Vii’ginia,
aud as one or them remarked : “It is
very hard a poor negro cau’t take a
few chickens without losing his right to
vote.” Sympathising with this out
burst, tho New York Express, with
whito “tramps” iu view says : It is in
deed, very hard to deprive Pompey or
C.esar of his old habits of robbing the
hen-roost and barn yard, but then it is
to be remembered that eternal vigilance
against thieving is only tho proper cost
for voting and being voted for.”
Science.— Mr. Nathan Appleton, of
Paris, writes to the Boston Globe to
protest against the execution of
Jesse Pomeroy, and thinks that his life
should be spared in order that he may
bo watched and studied in the interest
of science. Other people, who have
children and do not believo in the se
curity of prisons and Roman firmness
of Governors, desire him hanged in the
interest of morals. They do not object
to a scientific hanging, but they want
no science that does not include the
executioner’s noose. And wo think they
are right, and Mr. Appleton wrong.
Jesse Pomeroy is a devil. He may
“ materialize ” after death ; but he is
not a desirable inhabitant of this world.
The Great Swim. —During his watery
passage from Dover to Calais, Capt.
Webb, the champion swimmer, was fre
quently encouraged with beef tea, beer,
crooked brandy, coffeo, brandy straight,
etc., etc. And yet we are told that tem
perance men have more nerve and
pluck than a high old drinker. It may
be that Webb took his brandy to miti
gate an excess of water. At all events,
frequent potations of the burning fluid
made him a hero.
Greenbacks. —Because there were not
many people attendant upon the De
troit convention, the hard money papers
crow most lustily. That convention
was too much of a gumbo of old hacks
from both parties. The men who be
lievo in greenbacks, as Bill Allen puts
the case, have no money for the tom
foolery of conventions. They stay at
home and vote, without any “music by
the band.”
